ewww that's just gross but seriously did you hear about the baby rabbit who was orphaned. Fortunately, a family of squirrels took it in and raised it as if it were one of their own. This adoption led to some peculiar behaviors on the part of the rabbit, including a tendency for it to run around like its step-siblings instead of jumping around.
As the rabbit reached puberty, however, it soon faced an identity crisis (don't we all). It went to its stepparents to discuss the problem.
It confessed how it felt different from its step-siblings and was much forlorn.
Their response was... "Don't scurry, be hoppy."
